[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 1630880, member: 22335"] I sight in at 200 with 95% of my rifles; 450BM, muzzleloaders and rimfires are the exception. Why? Because I'm never going to dial from 200 down to 100. Never, ever. They all shoot flat enough that if I'm on at 200 it's dead at 100. So, why waste turret/reticle space with the first 100 yards? In addition, I've had them "on" at 100 but then off at 200 because any small error gets magnified with distance. Yes I'll also verify beyond 200 with many when able. As you can tell, I'm one of those who says "Why would anyone ever sight in for only 100 yards." ;) [/QUOTE]
